Calliophis intestinalis, commonly known as the banded Malaysian coral snake, is a species of venomous elapid snake endemic to Southeast Asia.[1]

Geographic range

C. intestinalis is found in Borneo, Indonesia, Java, and Malaysia.[3]

Venom

This small species possesses a potent venom, and human fatalities from its bite have been recorded.[4]

Subspecies

Four subspecies are recognized, including the nominotypical subspecies.[3][5]

  • Calliophis intestinalis everetti (Boulenger, 1896)
  • Calliophis intestinalis intestinalis (Laurenti, 1768)
  • Calliophis intestinalis lineata (Gray, 1835)
  • Calliophis intestinalis thepassi (Bleeker, 1859)

Nota bene: A trinomial authority in parentheses indicates that the subspecies was originally described in a genus other than Calliophis.
